detect new san space

[bcme10]

Anyone know how I can get Solaris to detect some new san space without doing a boot -r? My server currently connects to 100gb of SAN and the SAN admin assigned another 100GB.

Thanks!

Have you installed the SAN foundation software suite. This can be downloaded from Sunsolve, also get the patches.

If the SAN foundation S/W is installed then you can do a cfgadm -al and look for the SAN devices, if seen then do a cfgadm -c configure for those devices.

see the man pages for cfgadm

thanks. Inherited these devices so I'm running blind. These servers are using a third party fibre cards instead of the SUN cards so I found the utility these cards came with, ran them and it detected the new space. The only problem is it requires a reboot.

thx for the help though.
